After the teams swapped points to open the second half Armagh ran off 1-08 without reply with the goal on twenty minutes an excellent score from Captain Kevin McGeeney.

Dublin qualified for the final of the John Brady Cup final versus Armagh next week with a nail biting one point win over Kerry.

The first half was very even for twenty minutes with both sides having two points on the board. Dublin then jumped into the lead with a 1-01 burst with Kevin Fitzgerald punching to the net after Nick McKeown kept a long sideline from Shane Carty in play. Carty was proving to be a major thorn in the Kerry side along side Dave Mooney who was very impressive.

Mooney was a calming influence with his solo runs from the back as he floated throughout the field. The sides had two each to open the second half before Kerry put three points in a row on the board to make it all even with a quarter hour left, 0-08 to 1-05. How Dublin reacted was crucial. They had two Carty frees then Jason Kelly from Kerry received his second yellow and headed for an early shower. Kyle Cockery and Brian Newman had points to combat Carty’s fisted score which gave him seven on the day. The man disadvantage was hurting Kerry as they tried in vain for the tying score and clearances by Mike Furlong, Sean McGrath and Colin Madden secured the win.

A [point from Ronan Caffrey cancelled out a John Murtagh score and the Cork side was back within three at the half. Three points in the first three minutes of the second half had the side’s level before Conor Downey had firstly a point then a goal when he was set free for Tyrone.

The next ten minutes changed the game. A point from Jason Kelly was followed by an excellent Benny Reilly goal when Ronan Caffrey set him up. A long free by Kelly was flicked to the net by Shane Mannion two minutes later and the ensuing kickout was won by Ger McCullough who found the Master Reilly and he had his third goal and Corks fourth. They were easily able to match Tyrone point for point in the last seven minutes as they secured a spot in the Cup final.

With a late flourish Leitrim qualified for the Ned Devine Cup final where they will defend the title they have held for the last two years against Cork.
